Hi megan,
Yes having a bit of lemon in water with foods will help or fresh orange juice will help digest if you have low stomach acid, iron may be best taken up with vit C so not particularly vinegar but fresh orange juice etc, also best to avoid tea and or coffee when taking iron supplements as these inhibit iron absorption.
This I found good to read see:

Kind regards,
